Henry b. Stanton recently died in
New York at nearly so years OF age.
He was an able lawyer, a gifted news
paper writer, and a splendid orator.
He became interested in the antislav.
cry agitation. and left everything to
engage in q crusade against slavery.
Wherever his voice could be heard he
spoke for human freedom, rapidly es'
tablishing q lame as q speaker second
only TO that of Wendell Phillips. But
he retired from the rostrum some
20 years ago and engaged IN newspa-

The final estimates of the cereal
crops of the country for the season OF
1880 show that the wheat crop turns
out almost exactly 100, 900, 900
bushels mora than in the short crop
year OF 1885, being reported at 49,
2I6, 600 bushels. The yield of corn
falls short of the extraordinary pro.
duction of the previous year by
about go. 600, 900. but yet reached
1s165, O00, 900 bushels, whichis above
the average Of previous seven years.
and is therefore q satisfactory one.
The crop Of oats, with the exception
of that of18S5, is the largest or record,
being 624, 900 bushels. To show the
Importance Of the decline in the price
OF wheat it is only necessary to state
that while the yield in 1879 was only
. sritle larger than in 1856, that crop
was valued at over $195, 600, 900
more than the recent one.

Age Canno: Compete with Youth.

An interesting incident comes from Scott
county, Indiana Mr.. McDermott, a wild
over, fell III love with beautiful young
girl, and courtcd her with zeal which
only true affection knows. Mr.. McDeI-
mott has the misfortune to have son, but
the son very CONSIDERABLY did not object to
the fair young lady whom his father was
trying to make his step-mother. In fact,
the young man called on the young lady
and made her feel that she would be vel
come rs member of the family. This all
pleased the father, of course, and in a burst
of parental affection he told his son that he
and the young lady were engaged. Then
the son went over to con ongratuiate the young
lady. He did it affectionately-so very af-
fectionately that he proposed and was &C
cepted. an elopement followed, and the
fond father has now 3 daughter-in-law and
the son has no step-mo:her. Age should
never compete with youth in contests where
Cupid awards the prizes.

Trial Justices in cases of petit larceny,
Heretofore Trial Justices and the Court OF
General Sessions each claimed 10 have jurls'
diction to try cases Of petit larceny. The
sentence for the offence in Trial Justices
courts was limited to 30 daysin jail ora iii!"
Of 500: whereas, if the prisoner was tried
in the General Sessions for the same offence,
he could be sentenced TO The pcGi;cnt!ary

The point was raised in the Circuit Court
in the case of the State rs. Robert JinkinS,
Judge Aldrich ruling that Trial Justices
have jurisdiction. The defendant appealed
and the Supreme Court decided that only
the Court of General Sessions has the right
to try case Of petit larceny. The crecit

a series of negro balls. They are uacer
the patronage CT several ladies of noble
blood from Zanzibar and Ethiopia. Th@
dark-hued contingent of Parisian society Is
a numerous one, and contains many fami-
lies of rank and wealth. So you must BE-
lieve that these balls are truly aristocratic
gatherings. The supposition is that on'y'
persons OF negro blood are invited. As 4
matter of fact. however, nearly half Of these
are white. But all such have 10 stain their
faces black for the time being. These dis
guised revelers are persons Of the best stand,

sonages than Prince Waldemar ard his
bride, Amelia d'Orleans, attended the frs
of the series. Their faces were stained q
rich brown. so that they looked rather like
dark quadroons. Several cavaliers Of the
